Driver Celebrates 4th by Rolling Car, Then Leaves Scene

Benton County Deputies are searching for the driver of this vehicle, who apparently "slow rolled" it the night of July 4th.

Around 9pm authorities responded to a one-car rollover near Evans and Missimer Road about 6 miles northwest of Prosser. The vehicle was abandoned on its top with the lights still on.

Deputies say it appears the driver drove off the road for some reason (based on tire and gravel marks). Then while they were attempting to back up slowly and get on the pavement, the vehicle rolled on its roof. It was apparently a very slow roll since actual damage was minimal.

But there was no sign of the driver. Deputies didn't say if they had a positive ID, but are searching for the owner.
